Only the English can call an ass chewing an “interview without coffee”
I have had ass chewings many a time,:o:o some causing some sleepless nights and days off, but never an interview without coffee.
What do you think the punishment should be. Lets hear from our friends from the other side.
Prince Harry faces 'dressing down' from commanding officer - Telegraph
He's a single man having a good time in vegas.
His only crime is being a public figure.
I think it's only the media who are interested.
However as he holds an officers rank he is supposed to be seen to be setting a higher standard so he can reasonably expect some punishment from the army.
Motor, did you have a few "interviews without coffee?"
Shouldn't that be "interview without tea?":biggrin1:
As a former Prot Officer, with the Royals, I say Harry did nothing wrong. However his Prot guys are the ones that should be in trouble. His Principal PPO has gone native and behaves like member of the gang. He should be moved to another role, at the very least.
It is not their job to try to control Harry, but it is part of their role to try to stop such behaviour being made public. One of them should have taken all the phones from the revellers as part of entry conditions.
How much of a protection detail would he have had? A pro forma man or two, relying more on the Army to protect him, or a full detail? And is it possible that the Prot guys had their hands tied?
Overall -- what I see here is typical youthful/jr officer on leave stupidity. If it hadn't been Prince Harry -- it wouldn't be news. That said, yep, he gets a slap on the wrist for some variant of "conduct unbecoming" and hopefully it's lesson learned.

The Queen has seen worse. I doubt she's all that interested. Why are we?
One or two, all undeserved of course!Quote:
